ABSTRACT
Pharmacokinetic properties and duration of therapeutic action of a pharmaceutical agent can be significantly extended through the combination of two distinct strategies aimed at increasing plasma half-life fatty acid acylation and Fc-conjugation. Using insulin as a case study, we demonstrate that a doubly protracted insulin analog produces a substantial prolongation of pharmacodynamic effect to lower blood glucose in STZ-treated mice when compared to the Fc-only counterparts. This enhancement is further corroborated by direct pharmacokinetic measurements in rat and dog models, demonstrating the potential for once-monthly insulin therapy. The results suggest that this approach might have broad application across a diverse spectrum of peptide- and protein-based therapeutics.
